On 12/9 I posted a link, without personal comment, to a news story about this 
on the meepi website.
On 12/12, after days of trying to find out more and learning many details, I 
posted what I had found out along with an opinion.
In the post, I made a comment about Gov. Baldacci: "Maine's new Governor (A 
paper company whore, in my personal opinion)". As an interested viewer of Maine 
politics for decades, that remains my personal opinion. Later, I took an 
offensive word out of the subject line I started. In my anger, I used the best 
word I could think of to characterize the AMC's plan. I apologize for not being 
able to express myself better in that subject line, it was insensitive of me. 
Neither Weary's flame of me and our list, nor his attempt to inject a third 
party into the discussion, will lessen my respect for him. (Yesterday:"Out of 
respect for Weary, I will carefully address his response. Hope the 
anti-windmill meeting went well, Weary.") I meant what I typed.

I was pleased to see the thoughtful responses by other list members.
